Scientific paper

A series of spatially resolved absolute spectrophotometric measurements of Saturn was conducted for the expressed purpose of calibrating the data obtained with the Imaging Photopolarimeter (IPP) on Pioneer 11 during its recent encounter with Saturn. All observations reported were made at the Mt. Wilson 1.5-m telescope, using a 1-m Ebert-Fastie scanning spectrometer. Spatial resolution was 1.92 arcsec. Photometric errors are considered, taking into account the fixed error, the variable error, and the composite error. The results are compared with earlier observations, as well as with synthetic spectra derived from preliminary physical models, giving attention to the equatorial region and the South Temperate Zone.
